Controlling J-Aggregates Formation and Chirality Induction through Demetallation of a Zinc(II) Water Soluble Porphyrin

Under acidic conditions and at high ionic strength, the zinc cation is removed from its metal complex with 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS<sub>4</sub>) thus leading to the diacid free porphyrin, that subsequently self-organize into J-aggregates. The kinetics of the...
